The War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714) was of great concern to Britain for if the Duke of Anjou ascended to the throne of Spain, the balance of power on the Continent and in European colonization worldwide would shift to the House of Bourbon. This treatise and its preceding Part I are attributed to Daniel Defoe (cf. Bastian, Defoe's Early Life, p. 312). This is one of four editions of this second part, all of which were printed in 1701.
